Transforming his military duty into a post-service passion.
Jung Kook delighted fans with another surprise Weverse live broadcast on December 3, 2025, showing off his impressive cooking skills as he prepared a unique “Miso and Curry Pasta”. The stream quickly drew more than 3 million viewers, reaffirming both his global reach and fans’ love for his easygoing culinary content.
Since his discharge from the Republic of Korea Army on 11 June 2025, Jung Kook has found a warm, personal way to stay connected with fans. Having served as a cook in the 5th Infantry Division’s artillery brigade after his enlistment in December 2023, he has turned his military experience into a post-service passion. His ongoing Weverse cooking broadcasts have become a highly anticipated series that reveals a more relaxed, intimate side of the star.
This latest session follows several massively successful streams earlier in the year. On 28 September, he hosted a late-night live where he made “Truffle Cream Pasta” and “Scrambled French Toast” for 6.1 million viewers. On 24 November, his inventive “Sea Urchin Roe Soy Sauce Cream Shrimp Pasta” pulled in 6.4 million concurrent viewers, breaking yet another personal record. These consistent numbers reflect the strength of his bond with fans and the appeal of his charming kitchen sessions.
Beyond his recent pasta creations, Jung Kook is well-known for viral recipes that have long since become fan favourites. Beloved dishes include “Bulguri”, his signature twist on ramen; “Savory Bulmayo Perilla Oil Makguksu”; and “Suyuk”, or boiled pork slices — all of which showcase his flair for comfort food with a creative edge.
